Increase Your Influence Competency

All of our programs are based on the competencies required of outstanding leadership for any individual. Before you begin the program, you'll rate yourself on the influence assessment's 5-point scale in each of the 4 core content areas. Influence Matters is designed to increase both knowledge and competency by at least 1 point in at least 1 skill area in each of those 4 mastery areas as judged by you, and if you choose, one or two people you have asked to observe you while you are self-pacing through the series. 

What You'll Learn

The 4 skill mastery areas:  Master the Basics, Master the Plan, Master Your Delivery, and Master Your Self fully equip you for any influence situation.  And although they follow in a specific order, you can jump ahead at any time when an influence situation calls for it.
